Fast Add is a feature for creating an inventory item on the fly while invoicing.  This is an invaluable aid for stores just starting out with POSitive because you can quickly add inventory not currently in the Inventory Center.  For established stores, Fast Add can also be used for creating special order items from a vendor's catalog.

TIP: assign the new Fast Add item to a category which can be reviewed for editing.

Setups

Go to Station Manager: Edit a station.  Choose Transactions view and activate "Fast-Add Inventory When Adding Inventory At Register" Important Note

There are two options.  Choose Only 1, not both.

-- Prompt to display "Lookup List" or "Add New" if SKU Not Found More Info

•Prompt To Display Lookup List or Add New If SKU Not Found - If you are using a barcode scanner for adding items to an invoice you may set POSitive to warn you that the scanned item was not found in inventory.  If the scanned barcode does not exist, you will be given the options to Quick-Add, Search, or cancel.  (see Item Not Found)

Tip: DO NOT turn this on if you are not using a barcode scanner because it will require extra keystrokes.

-- Fast-Add Inventory when Adding Inventory at Register More Info

•Fast-Add Inventory When Adding At Register - A shortcut option to minimize customer delay at the checkout station.  Only essential elements of a new inventory item are recorded.  The other elements must be done later.  (see System Setup: Inventory: Invoicing)

Go to System Setup: Inventory: Invoicing and consider assigning a default category.
